Given the numbers x = a and y = –b, which statement is true?

A. |x| = –a and –|y| = –b
B. –|x| = a and –|y| = b
C. |–x| = –a and |–y| = b
D. |x| = a and |y| = b

Respuesta :

choice D is correct, any number inside the absolute value sign is positive so choice A and C is eliminated, if there is a negative sign in front of the absolute value symbol, the number becomes negative which eliminates choice B. The only choice left is choice D

D. |x| = a and |y| = b , because modulus sign (| |) turns a negative number into positive
